The Frankfurt Germany Temple is the 41st operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In 1914 there were 200 Mormon missionaries in Germany. When World War I began, the missionaries had to leave. At the outbreak of World War II, the missionaries again had to be evacuated. But, amidst war and turmoil, the Mormon members remained valiant and continued to live the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Beginning in 1968, Germany was visited by Church leaders. Each time the leaders would visit, they grieved over the fact the members could not enjoy the blessings of the temple. But they were promised once in 1968 and again in 1975, that 'if they remained true and faithful to the commandments of God, that the blessings of the temple would be theirs.' [1]
